I think the real puzzle is to understand what is the puzzle.

USB-C standard sucks.

Supposedly would unify things, but can't find two cables that have same specs.

That's not what's happening.

Using AI tool over that repo does, but you have to launch it before the AV kicks in.

The illusion of security.

Ok, so you download the repo, launch Cursor, it compiles code and run it (if not, why do you even use Cursor at the first place?). Same effect.

This is nice but how, as a user, do you learn it exists?

If you ignore gravitation, a sphere earth can be very confusing.

I find PG's article so dismissive.

I know several people that have difficulty writing but are still f*cking smart. So what, they should refrain from using AI to help them because the AI police says so?

But yeah, let's continue classifying people based on their outer qualities and habits... History showed us were this leads us to.

And here an em dash -- to freak out the AI police.

100% this.

The AI police is there to say what is worth reading and what is not, because THEY know what people like.

Or not.

I find the proposal ridicule.

Would you skip articles because it's written with a text processor? You need to have it written bit by bit by fusing it directly in memory?

AI / LLM is the new word editor. Get over it.

What I find really annoying is all the comments that pretend to see / detect AI slop... with lot of false positives.

The harness is the tool you use to communicate with the model.

It can be as basic as a simple conversation tool (like ChatGPT back in the day), or more advanced like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.

Advanced harnesses will give precise instructions to the model to tell him what tooling / skills / MCPs / etc are available, and will orchestrate all the actions around the model (like starting subagents, calling external tools, etc).

Love it!

No.

Sure, but the problem then is not systemd machineid, but rather the browser reading it and making it available for such identification (don't know if there is a browser out there doing that though).

Unless anonymization is provided by your browser, there is nothing you can do to prevent such identification technology run by these advertisers to build your profile, and send you targeted ads.

Whatever you do there will always be uniquely identifiable information (if not an id, a fingerprint) on your machine.

If you want to escape that, you have to use dedicated privacy-enhancing tools / browsers, but even then, it's very likely that you can still be identified by motivated adversaries.

It doesn't mean you have to give up, but, if such id is necessary for technical reasons in systemd (I guess it is), I wouldn't worry too much.

It's not that simple.

Rules do not necessarily reduce freedom, they can in fact even provide more freedom on the longer term, when the system finds a new balance.

The difficulty of course is to find the proper rules and evaluate these effects from current system state.

You are above the laws if you have the money. Wonderful teaching for your kids. The world knows where that is leading.

The amount of downvoted posts here is quite indicative.

And I think we don't care.

Seeing your comment, the base seems more corrupted than the elite. The corruption they suffer is to see everyone as being corrupted.

Think about it: how you would implement such directive and make it implementable... Now you see the problem.

Why would seeing sexual imagery make you less rational? That doesn't make sense.

The study you mention say the people were already in an arousal state (that they had to induce themselves). It's very different from seeing images that you may simply ignore, evaluate differently, etc.

Also, there is the bias that if people are looking for such images (because they really want them), they are probably more willing to drop recommended practices, and hence make irrational moves. So irrationality doesn't come from seeing the images at the first place, but from their willingness to find / see such images.

Yeah. The comments saying it's AI-pilled comments are more annoying and less informative than the comments themselves.

You don't need an online account to back up your encryption key.

All you need is your password.

And a well-designed disk encryption tool.

Nice writeup. This is this kind of exercise and information that really help you understand better how things work.

No, it's Mythos that has access to Microsoft now :-)

Anthropic, can you please stop the FUD?

Release your best model, let the world adapt and evolve, and let's move to the next thing.

Great! More pressure on fabs, price of standard GPU will again rise.

Guess I need to postpone my gamer PC renewal to end 2030.

For his defense, the business is really 1M$ and he really started in his dorm room. So clickbaity but factually true, unlike many other clickbaity stories out there.

Funniest comment in this thread :-D

Nice writeup. A practical example of a project, what was found, how it was found, the quality of the findings, reproducible.
